The present invention is directed to adhesive/hemostatic formulations of 2-alkoxyalkyl cyanoacrylate, an absorbable liquid or solid polymeric modifier, and a general stabilizer against premature anionic polymerization of cyanoacrylates. The present adhesive formulations are useful as tissue adhesives/sealants, hemostatic agents, or as a means of patching and anastomotic coupling of damaged organs. |
